Noah Clowney is set to return from a five-game absence due to a back issue, while Ziaire Williams is back after missing three games with a calf injury. Both players were given probable status on Monday and are now confirmed to participate in Tuesday’s game against the Lakers. They are anticipated to handle their usual roles and minutes in their return.

In a setback for fantasy managers, Noah Clowney has been ruled out for Sunday’s matchup against the Clippers due to his lingering back issues. His absence is expected to result in increased minutes for Danny Wolf and Jalen Wilson. Wolf, who has more starting experience this season, may have to adapt if he doesn’t start alongside Michael Porter Jr., suggesting a possible strategic shift in the lineup.

Noah Clowney’s back issues have cast doubt on his availability for Sunday’s matchup against the Clippers. Having logged significant minutes in Friday’s double-overtime loss to the Celtics, his potential absence might open up opportunities for Danny Wolf, while Jalen Wilson could see playing time after sitting out the last game. The team will likely adjust their strategy depending on Clowney’s final status.

Noah Clowney stepped up as Brooklyn’s main offensive option, with Michael Porter Jr. and Cam Thomas sidelined, posting 17 points on 4-of-17 shooting in a loss to the Grizzlies. Despite his struggles from beyond the arc, converting only 4-of-15 attempts, he contributed defensively with three steals and a block. As the Nets face a busy four-game week, Clowney’s role may continue to be pivotal, especially with his potential for improved shooting aligning with his career averages.
